Portraits

I'll paint couple portraits, wedding pictures, pets, child and corporate portraits, landscapes, everyday objects, monuments, buildings, shapes and colors, you name it.

A portrait commissioned from a photograph is a personal and valued gift. I paint traditional and experimental portraits. I have painted e.g. "puzzle portraits" and full body portraits of pregnant women.

Completing a portrait can take a few weeks to a month. Please contact: julia&juliaprusi.com (replace the & sign with the @ sign)

"Small blond-haired boys and girls with red cheeks tell the onlooker of childhood. Children are the embodiment of the mystery of life.  A child’s bright eyes have a direct gaze through decades and even centuries."
